So I emailed Hasbro saying this:
Hi there,
I am emailing to ask about the distribution of The Avengers movie series action figures. In Wave 3 of the series the figure "Grapple Blast Black Widow" was only packed one per case in a case of 12. Due to this any stores you go to have none since this is the most popular figure (any one per case is) and you only ever get one at a time. Wave 3 has reused many of the figures from Waves 1 and 2 which have shown up at every store long ago. This means they get stuck with figures that everyone has and doesn't want so none buys them and they have no reason to order new cases. So how do one per case figures like "Black Widow" ever show up when you have to wait for a whole case of repacks to sell to get just one figure? They don't. I like The Avengers movie and would like to collect the "whole team" of figures and this is almost impossible due to that. There are so many different types of "Thor" or "Iron Man" figures being repacked and you can only have so many of them. There should be more of the other characters as well. And to buy one from HasbroToyShop.com you have to buy the whole Wave 3 case and then you just get a bunch more easy to find repack figures that I already have. So is there any way to order just the "Black Widow" figure? I really hope so.
Thanks

And they said this:

Seriously? Do they really think that HTS sells them individually? They haven't sold figures that way for years! And if that's true about the marketing team, how dumb are they?
I was hoping they would send me a Black Widow figure, guess not.....
